The Cavaliers are coming, and as the youth army in the East, they are currently in sixth place in the East this season, which is one quarter better than the Warriors' record. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

James, a sophomore, has a vague supergiant demeanor.

In fact, the league's hand-contact defense rules, in addition to the speed of Wade's breakthrough has played a huge role in the breakthrough, but also for James, a tank-style breakthrough player, in short, the league encourages breakthrough offense, even if the outside player does not have any growth, as long as he dares to break through, the data will always increase.

This is the main reason why in the second grade, James and Wade both showed explosive growth, and Anthony, who had also honed for a year, still seemed to be just standing still.

At this time, James averaged 26.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, a super stat that was close to a quasi-triple-double, and in this season, he was addicted to chasing hats, showing his outstanding bounce and arm span in the pursuit defense countless times, and became a top 10 tomahawk dunk.

And Yang Di, at this time, 15.7 points, 15.3 rebounds and 2.6 blocks, ranked first in the league in rebounds, and became the undoubted first person on the inside in the 03rd class.

The confrontation between the two is regarded as the best matchup among sophomores, after all, the friendly relationship between the two has been advertised countless times in the report, and even yesterday, there were reports that James arrived in San Francisco early to cut the ribbon to celebrate Yang Di's newly opened restaurant.

Before the start of the game, Montgomery and Yang Di talked.

"The Cavaliers, you played against them last season, and they had some personnel changes in the summer, mainly Drew Gooden replaced Carlos Boozer and became the starting power forward for the Cavaliers today, and the interior defense is still mainly based on Ilgoskas."

"So?" Yang Di asked.

"So I need you to strengthen your individual offense in this game, Drew Gooden's defense is terrible, basically there is no ability to help defend, and Ilgoskas is very tall but very slow, I believe that with your speed and mobility, you can eat him alone, the outside defense of this game is a big responsibility, and the offensive end can only rely on you to open up the situation." Montgomery drew a red circle on the tactics board to draw the Cavaliers' No. 1 representative LeBron James.

"We're tall guys too, but it's hard to defend James, Jason, Michael and Derrick, and I'd rather use Derrick Fisher to defend him and just let James shoot outside, his breakaway threat is too great."

Montgomery paused and continued: "You still have one task today, which is to cut off the inside and outside connection of the Cavaliers, and not let Big Z easily get the opportunity to attack close to the basket. ”

Yang Di nodded, he could hear it, he had a great responsibility in this game, and he had to handle both the offensive and defensive ends.

......

In the evening, the Oakland Arena.

The Warriors in white home jerseys stood on the floor of the arena, and the Cavaliers wore dark blue uniforms.

James smeared some magnesium powder on his hand and raised it in front of the technical table.

Yang Di pressed his legs, twisted his body, and then jumped up, hung on the basket, put his head under the basket and did several pull-ups, and simply showed his toughness first.

Yang Di stood in the middle circle, facing the 2.21-meter-big Z, ready to jump the ball.

The Cavaliers started on the court, PG James, SG Eric Snow, SF Ira Newbell, PF Drew Gooden, C Zajunas Ilgoskas.

The Warriors started with PG Derrick Fisher, SG Jason Richardson, SF Mike Dunleavy, PF Troy Murphy, and C Youngdy.

Big Z is a Lithuanian, from 97 years to be selected by the Cavaliers has gone through 7 seasons now, he is also a perennial 15+9 excellent inside, offensive shooting, low post, all-round, defensive end resistance, help defensive block, outstanding awareness, although it can not be compared with Yang Di, but it is also a first-class player in the league.

Playing with such an inside line, Yang Di was the most excited.

On the first jump ball, Yang Di, who had already bounced at 101 S-level, jumped out of a terrifying height, more than half of the palm of Big Z, and took the lead in moving the ball away.

James's mouth opened wide when he saw it, he was also a top-level spring man, and he could see at a glance that Yang Di's bounce power was probably on par with him, how could this be? Last year, he clearly remembered that Yang Di was a little weaker than him, how this guy's physical fitness was getting better and better.

Warriors offense.

Before the game, in addition to Yang Di, several other people were also taught by Montgomery, and after half-time, Fisher did not give the ball to Richardson as usual, but directly to the elbow area to meet Yang Di.

Yang Di took the ball and turned around, and the three threats faced the big Z defense.

Big Z's height of 2.21 meters, tentatively stepping in, holding the ball with both hands to make a pretended shooting posture, is very realistic.

There is no need for Big Z to jump up and defend, he just wants to interfere with Yang Di's shooting when he stretches out his hand.

But at this moment, Yang Di suddenly broke through, his left foot was the fulcrum of the kicking explosion, his right foot stepped out directly to the right, his head was lowered, and his body dribbled 45 degrees, directly bursting strongly.

The knight immediately contracted the defense, and Yang Di had an advantage when he made the first big Z, and when he was three steps stronger, he was already flying in the air.

Dodging the useless Gooden defense, a wobbly small throw keeps the ball to the basket.

The basketball smashed into the neck of the basket, then bounced outward, hit the edge of the hoop and rolled half a circle, and then fell into the net.

"Good shot!"

The audience was always the most excited, all standing up and applauding.

James received the ball and advanced, and after halftime, motioned for the Cavaliers to hold steady, and then freed his right hand to direct the Cavaliers players to run and distribute the ball to Snow who came to receive the ball on the wing.

Richardson defended Snow very well, Snow had no space to shoot and moved the ball to the left.

Newbell took the ball and moved two steps sideways, and when he saw James asking for the ball in the low post, he took the initiative to hoist the ball over, and James stuck the ball in the low post to defend Michael Dunleavy.

The 2.06-meter-tall Dunleavy's only advantage for James is that he is slightly taller than him. As for the weight, the difference between the two is 20 pounds, you know, James's weight and strength are on the same level as Yang Di.

So James saw that the thin Dunleavy was defending him, and immediately dribbled the ball back to the inside.

Dunleavy resisted stubbornly, pushed his arm forward unconsciously, and the movement was slightly bigger, and he was immediately fouled by the referee.

Montgomery covered his face, the game had just begun, Dunleavy paid for a foul, it was really not worth it, it was a big deal to let James rush in, didn't there be Yang Di to help defend, no matter what, just let him shoot well, anyway, if you shoot, James can't shoot dead.
